I am your typical housewife living in high maintenance suburbia. I have a handsome husband, 2 kids and a flock of pet chickens. I try and feed my family with $100 a month. With the help of coupons, gardening and bartering I am able to squeeze the most out of our grocery budget and still manage to have a little fun along the way.

March Edible Plant Sale

The Seattle Tilth’sMarch Edible Plant Sale is right around the corner and I’m getting totally excited about. It’s one sale this gardener will never miss! If you’ve never been, I recommend putting it on your calendar if you’re local.

You can stock-up on organic and locally grown edible plant starts perfect for spring planting, and find a huge selection of edible flowers, fruit shrubs, fruit trees, seeds, supplies and knowledge galore. It’s on Saturday, March 15th from 9am-3pm. at the Pacific Market Center garage. Plus, get this: admission is FREE!

Their Classes

If you can’t make their sale or if you want to learn more about, well, anything, check out some of their killer classes. Whether you plan on starting your own seeds indoors, adding chickens, bees and other livestock to your urban {or suburban} farm or supercharging your soil with homemade compost, they’ve got a class for you.
